Excellent novel-in-verse historical fiction novel, perfect for middle grade readers and upper elementary classrooms, set during a turmoil period of time, the Civil Rights Movement.
It's 1963 and Cooper is a young girl attending an integrated school (mostly white) in Pittsburgh. She is bullied by a white classmate, and she wonders how she can shine and be radiant in the current climate.
